They are still in the engine, as you can see if you look in the console when the game is starting up (It sets some console variables that show up as 'unrecognized' if we try to enter them.)
Why would they remove all the deeper commands? We have been screwed over once again...
The demo had more console commands then this if you used command line switches. Now they are almost all locked.
I also heard on CryMod that the .pak files are encrypted.
So no modding and no tweaking. The worst part is that Crytek will never tell us why. They will NEVER TELL US WHY. [is there even a reason why? this is weird ****, i doubt microsoft paid them to remove pc customization]
We are constantly kept in the dark, and the best answers we get are simply "It hasn't been announced yet". Well announce it you dummies! YOU are the CM team!
